Zak smiled bashfully as the Kel Dor walked with him onto the dance floor, it had been quite a while since the Force had allowed him to just enjoy more simple pleasures. It seemed that the Force was allowing him this evening to himself, something he would accept without question. The Kel Dor took Zak into his arms with a gentle spin, a playful laugh escaped Zak's unabashed smile. It was a laugh that would deepen at Sol's comment about the other couples and how preoccupied they were. It was a laugh that halted in his throat, a smile that faded from his lips when Sol asked about his leg.
For the briefest of moments Zak was cast back onto Thyferra, he felt the fear, the pain, the death of countless beings occurring in concert. A cold shiver traveled down his back, a small scowl appeared on his face, his response was in a hushed and whispered tone.
"I was on Thyferra..."
Zak wouldn't have time to dwell on the past too deeply, instead as he went to tell the Kel Dor more, Luci bumped into him. Zak stepped into the Keldor's chest briefly before he could even glance over his shoulder, he would hear his Padawan's voice. At her voice, some of Zak's mirth would reappear on his face.
"Luci, allow me to introduce you to Sol Kenuk." He said as the first part of an introduction. "Sol, this is my Padawan learner Lucifrey Sol." He continued. "Huh, you both have Sol in your names. What a funny little coincidence!" Zak said teasingly.
However, before any real conversation could spark between the trio, Zak would notice Dimetri waving towards them. He would cast his Padawan a knowing glance and a small smirk would appear on his face before nodding in the young man's direction.
"I think he's calling to you Luci." He said in a hushed tone. "Why don't you go and spend time with him?" He asked with a smile.
When Luci made her way from them, Zak would return his attentions to the Sol, the shine in his eyes having fully returned to Zak. It was an unspoken bond between Zak and his Padawan but to him, Luci was family, a daughter that he cared for deeply. He wanted to see her flourish, succeed, and be happy in all things she endeavored to do.
"She spent days by my side while I was in the Bacta Tank." Zak explained to Sol. "She is like the daughter I will never have." He continued with a small sigh.
There would be a brief silence before Zak looked at Sol and had a simple request.
"Would you spin me again?"
